Desktop Base Station Control Station Microphone for Motorola Radios
Genuine Motorola Solutions Original desktop microphone featuring a weighted non-skid base, large push-to-talk paddle, and 8-pin modular connector for commercial mobile radios.
The Motorola RMN5068A (also cataloged as RMN5068) is an authentic original equipment manufacturer (OEM) desktop microphone engineered specifically for Motorola mobile two-way radios operating as fixed control stations and desktop dispatch consoles. Designed for dispatchers, fleet coordinators, security control operators, and plant managers, this self-standing microphone facilitates hands-free station operation, allowing personnel to manage dispatch logs, computer systems, and paperwork without handling a traditional mobile fist mic. Sourced directly from our verified inventory of Motorola Two-Way Radios & Accessories, the RMN5068A delivers clear voice transmissions across commercial and industrial control stations.
Built with a heavy-duty weighted base and slip-resistant rubber isolation feet, the Motorola RMN5068A remains firmly planted on dispatch consoles during high-tempo emergency communications. The unit features an oversized, easy-to-access Push-To-Talk (PTT) paddle switch that complies with workplace ergonomic guidelines under OSHA Standards, minimizing operator hand fatigue during repeated transmissions. The integrated directional electret microphone element optimizes voice frequencies while filtering ambient dispatch room noise, meeting commercial electromagnetic interference limits under FCC Standards Part 15 Class B. Terminated with a factory-molded 8-pin modular RJ45 plug and rugged coiled cord, the RMN5068A connects directly to front-panel mobile transceiver microphone ports with no external power supplies required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between part numbers ending in "A", "B", or having no letter?
There is no functional, mechanical, or electrical difference. Motorola Solutions uses trailing letter suffixes (such as A, B, or C) to designate internal manufacturing revisions and production lots. A part number listed as RMN5068, RMN5068A, or a subsequent revision shares identical compatibility, acoustic specifications, and connector pinouts.
How does a desktop microphone connect to the radio?
The RMN5068A features a factory coiled cord terminating in a standard 8-pin modular (RJ45) plug. It plugs directly into the front accessory/microphone jack of compatible Motorola mobile and base station radios.
Does this desktop microphone require an external power supply or batteries?
No. The microphone draws its necessary operating bias voltage directly through the transceiver's microphone connector interface.
Can this microphone be locked into open transmit mode?
The RMN5068A is engineered as a momentary Push-To-Talk (PTT) paddle to prevent accidental open-mic situations and unintended channel lockups on shared commercial frequencies.
Does this microphone work with MOTOTRBO mobile radios like the XPR 5350e or XPR 5550e?
The RMN5068A is designed with an 8-pin modular connector for legacy and commercial series mobiles (such as the CM, GM, and PRO series). MOTOTRBO XPR Series mobile radios typically utilize Motorola’s 10-pin modular connector (such as the RMN5050 desktop microphone).
